What to know about Qantas carry-on rules

Qantas (Australia) flies mostly out of SYD, MEL, BNE and PER; New Zealand, United States, United Kingdom, Singapore and Japan are among its key markets.
As a box, Qantas' 56×36×23 cm limit holds about 46.4 litres, the 38th largest volume of the 60 airlines that publish three cabin bag sides.
Among the 66 verified airlines that include a measured cabin bag, Qantas sits at rank 28; 14% of them allow a smaller total than its 115 cm (45.3 in).
Qantas is 4th of 10 oneworld members by total cabin bag size (Iberia is the most generous, Qatar Airways the strictest).
Tested against Qantas' 56×36×23 cm limit, a standard US carry-on of 22 × 14 × 9 in (55.9 × 35.6 × 22.9 cm) fits, but with only 0.1 cm (0 in) to spare on the length.
A typical European cabin case of 55 × 40 × 20 cm (21.7 × 15.7 × 7.9 in) is 4 cm (1.6 in) too big on the width when measured against Qantas' 56×36×23 cm.
Across its 6 fares, Qantas changes the rules: all 6 include a cabin bag. Weight limits vary by fare: 7 kg and 10 kg.
Of 57 verified airlines with a published cabin weight limit, 34 allow more than Qantas' 7 kg (15.4 lb) for both bags together and 0 allow less.
Qantas counts both bags in one 7 kg total on the International Economy fare, so a heavy personal item reduces what the cabin bag may weigh.
Qantas' official text counts wheels and handles in the 56×36×23 cm cabin bag limit.
Exceptions noted on the official Qantas page: “Underseat bag — For example, a small duffle-style bag, backpack or large handbag. — Bag size: 34cm (13in) height x 48cm (18in) width x 23cm (9in) depth.” “Domestic Qantas Link Dash 8 - Q400 — 1 overhead bag and 1 personal item — Weight: 7kg (15lb) maximum” “All flights departing India — 1 overhead bag — Weight: — Economy 7kg (15lb) maximum — Business 10kg (22lb) maximum — Note: Additional personal items aren't permitted on these flights.”
